Bhubaneswar, Jun 30 (PTI) : With Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik’s private secretary V K Pandian facing stiff opposition including black flag demonstrations during his district tours, the ruling BJD came to his rescue and defended his activities.
Pandian, a 2000-batch IAS officer, has been accused of violating the All India Service Rules for bureaucrats and acting like a politician.
Opposition BJP and Congress demanded action against Pandian for allegedly crossing the “Laxman Rekha” for civil servants.
